Collaboration: From
User-based Design to Co-design
June
M. Fisher, MD
|
Abstract: June will speak about
her challenges and experiences as a non-designer in developing products that
serve older adults. She will cover her involvement with 1) Stanford's Product
Design course, 2) Stanford's Center on Longevity's 2015-2016 Design Challenge,
and 3) the UCB co-design course she co-taught last Spring that included 15
older adults and 16 undergraduate students.
Biosketch: June Fisher is
a Senior Scientist at the Trauma
Foundation, "Chief Elder Officer" for Aging2.0 (a global network of innovators in
aging), designer, and a frequent lecturer in Stanford's Department of
Mechanical Engineering. She formerly was an Occupational Health Physician,
Associate Clinical Professor of Medicine at the University of California at San
Francisco.
"In the late '80s, when products to
protect healthcare workers from exposure to blood did not exist, I was invited
by Rolf Faste to talk to his Product Design (PD) class at Stanford. In that
course, a graduate medical student designed the first safety catheter that I
had seen. I was elated by this. Based on this experience, I was able to get a
small grant from the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health
(NIOSH) to develop strategies to promote the development of such safety medical
devices. The grant covered stipends for Product Design students from Stanford
and Industrial Hygiene students from UCB to collaborate with healthcare
workers. Based on the enthusiasm of his PD students, Rolf asked me to be a
Lecturer for the following year's course. Although I had a full plate with my
clinical and teaching responsibilities at San Francisco General Hospital, I
agreed as I was fascinated with the world of Product Design and the importance
of the interaction between designers and users. I worked with Rolf and Sarah
Little Turnbull for several years."
"I have continued my interest in
Product Design and have now focused on aging."
